"About 2 weeks ago I attended the funeral of a 91 year old man who got married at age 15. He had 3 children by the time he was 19. We really don't have to reach back to biblical times to find examples."

Morgana replied to Unseen's discussion 'Why isn't a 14 year old girl old enough to consent to sex?'"This is just amother rule and just another way for our litigious society to make money. Just another way to place everyone in tidy little boxes. How mature one is depends on the individual. Travel to other countries and you will see very young…"
Jamie Ayers replied to Mercedes's discussion 'Why do atheists ask for so much proof to believe in God?'"How has it been verified historically? I would love to know. The author of the bible could have been a schizophrenic seeing people in the sky for all we know.

Welcome to TA
Our Radio Show
 This week on the Think Atheist Radio Show we have our interview with Dr. Sebastian Seung! Dr. Seung is a professor of computational neuroscience at MIT. A leading researcher in the emerging field of connectomics– the field of study that is attempting to map the connections in our brains– he has made important advances in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, neuroeconomics, and statistical physics. His recently published book, Connectome, does just what the subtitle says, explains how the brain's wiring makes us who we are. With implications for personality, identity, intelligence, memory, and even disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, this is a wide-ranging and fascinating book on a subject that would be right at home in a sci-fi movie but is in fact real! Don't miss this discussion!
And don't miss our recent interview with Dr. Jessica Pierce! Working in bioethics, Dr. Pierce is the co-author of Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals. What does it say about human morality and what does it mean for the study of morality that many animals demonstrate behaviors that can only be described with words like "justice", "fairness", and "altruism"? Make sure to check out all of our past shows and see who's coming up in the next few weeks! You can also grab the shows from our iTunes page. |
